Veneers are microprostheses that allow you to hide some of the defects of the teeth entering the smile zone.

Veneers usually cover not the entire tooth, but only its front surface.

Ceramic veneers mounted on the front teeth create an ideal aesthetic that cannot be obtained by whitening or when restoring teeth with filling materials.

Benefits

Ceramic veneers (they are also called all-ceramic) before other types of tooth restoration are obvious:

• There is no need to remove the nerve.
• Pads are made of environmentally friendly material, ceramics do not contain harmful substances.
• Long service life of the restoration, which depends on extreme situations.
• The highest aesthetics of designs.
• Full color matching to other teeth.
• There is no change in transparency, color over time.

Kinds

Ceramic veneers can be made from porcelain and zirconia.

Their difference in methods for the manufacture of linings, which has a negligible effect on their final consumer properties.

Manufacture

All-ceramic Veneer is installed in several stages:

• The tooth is turned on the front surface of the tooth. The enamel with a thickness of 0.3 to 0.6 mm is removed.
• Casting with a special impression mass.
• Making an exact plaster copy of the teeth from the cast.
• Modeling and reproduction of ceramic veneers on a gypsum model.

Dentists with sufficient experience in the manufacture of veneers, before turning the tooth, demonstrate the patient a future restoration by applying a plastic imitation of veneer to the tooth. Only after agreeing with the patient the appearance and shape of the future tooth, the dentist begins to prepare it.

Installation

Before finally fixing the veneer on the tooth, it is tried on.

If the design does not fit the patient or creates discomfort, it is sent for revision.

In the laboratory, the structure is ground, grinded and tried on again.

If during fitting everything is in order from the point of view of aesthetics and physiology and the patient feels comfort, then the slip is attached to the tooth.

It is important to remember that after fixing the ceramic plates, their displacement or movement is almost impossible.

Cost

Ceramic veneers have one significant drawback - their high price.

Depending on the status of the clinic, the material and professionalism of the dentist, the cost of ceramic veneers varies from 12000 up to 30,000 rubles.

The cost of lumineers ("Hollywood veneers") can reach up to 50,000 rubles.

Reviews

• In my 40s, teeth looked disgusting. The front teeth were in fillings, which darkened over time. One tooth was previously depulped and darkened too.As I just did not try to give my teeth a normal look. Professional whitening also did not produce results. Finally I decided to install veneers. I so wanted to have beautiful teeth that I could not resist and installed ceramic linings. My friend helped me find an experienced specialist. Now I am constantly smiling and not worried that anyone will see defects on my teeth.
• I have had gray-yellow teeth since childhood. I had to bleach them regularly. On the advice of a dentist, I put veneers on my front teeth. If it were possible to whiten teeth without resorting to pads, I would not put them. Since all my healthy teeth were turned before installing the veneers, and now there is no way to get everything back. Have to walk with pads all my life. On the other hand, I now have very beautiful teeth that do not need to be whitened.
• Two years ago I decided to supply ceramic veneers. When the question was decided by choice of color, I really wanted whiter teeth, but the doctor convinced me. He said that very white teeth look unnatural and will be noticeable against the rest. They put veneers on my upper teeth, there were defects in the form of fillings and chips, and the lower teeth were put in order with the help of whitening. At first, the lower teeth looked a little whiter, and after a while, they darkened a little and now they are no different from teeth with overlays.
• It was necessary to somehow solve the problem with the teeth, as they pumped up a little in shape and color. Having studied the reviews of those people who have already placed the dental plaques, I realized that it will be necessary to constantly monitor what you eat and constantly be careful. This moment aroused distrust. In the dental clinic, the dentist said that not everything is as scary as they say. Some precautions will need to be observed, but the diet and lifestyle will not have to be changed. Precautions turned out to be quite normal: do not crack nuts, do not open bottles with your teeth, do not crack hard objects, such as ice. I was quite satisfied with these conditions and I decided on the procedure. They put me ceramic veneers, and I have no regrets.
• Five years ago, I installed ceramic veneers on my upper front teeth. The teeth have not changed at all for so many years, they look like real ones. Now I plan to put on the teeth of the lower jaw, since there is a dark spot on the tooth that is not masked by anything.
